*sigh* Not once out of thousands. Once again... Every single time you see one collision message instead of two under the current system, you know, the stuff you're complaining about? Every single time that happens under the current system, if it were done the way you want it to be, the other plane that only got a "soandso collided with you" message would go down without hitting anything. The reason I keep repeating is... you keep not understanding the point.
The other plane would see this:
(wish I had a cleaner pic, but this will do)
(Image removed from quote.)
And mysteriously fall from the sky as though struck by an invisible airplane.
If you lose your mind this much over collisions that aren't your fault, I can't begin to imagine the whirlwind of spittle and recriminations if you went down without hitting something.

This is a dead end redundant convo.
A person who built a damage model doesn’t understand? People who never did say I don’t understand?
The only real challenge would be from HT, who towers over me.
How often does invisible planes happen?
You have the same FE that lets the wrong player who did the ram fly away undamaged. Players see this happen often. It already calls it wrong a percentage of the time. Thats no different in either choice. Might as well give both damage.
This is being conflated away from the end result and what the players expect. Error this way error that way. Might as well deliver the illusion of what they expect. It kinda removes, or covers up, what gives a bad illusion. It’s not realistic one flies away.
IMO, Sometimes you need to bend the data to make it more what they expect. Thats a big deal.
I masked flaws AW DM made that could nit be changed. You guys are hung up on hiw it works over what it delivers to the players and what is expected.
I understand the technicalities, I also think about whats expected.
My take is error to the side of whats expected.
How the FE works cannot be avoided, but both taking damage smooths it over.. it’s a welcome illusion.
The FE is correct, but who’s computer sees it first can call it wrong
It’s simply masking.
Is it correct 100% of the time? No
Neither is mutual damage.
They notice single damage than the possible errors of mutual.
Your invisible plane example happens in both and more noticeable in single damage.
We can argue until the world goes flat. The majority of players want it changed. They don’t give a rats butt what the FE actually does. They want to see them both take damage, period.
I’m about pleasing the player to keep them here.
Not being skimmed out by twit like Trips who posted 2000 times advertising DCS on our forum. The entire player based called him out and his manipulated crew of 4-5 were doing.
He’s a calculating manipulatir and he’s using it on you. 100% biased nonsense. Any negative post about AH, he’ll be in it manipulating players against the game. CptGacey hadn’t played in over 25 yrs now. He kniws nothing of the MA or players. He lives making sure you and zi di not have a cognitive convo. He nanipulates the ignorant to do his dirty work to avoid permaban and legal action. He set 4 up to dixx me after giving them my personal info. Know who you are dealing with. Now he got thise 4 in possible legal damage. While he sits laughing at the poor fools. He hates me because I impede his efforts to skim players.
Trip likes single damage because it aids his skimming, he knows the players don’t like it, he loves that.
You are not wrong, nor am I, we just view the outcome different. So do the players.
